a.
To determine:
The number of valence electrons present in
Introduction:
In a molecular or atomic orbital the electrons of an atom or molecule are distributed. This distribution of electrons is known as the electronic configuration of the atom or molecule. It is used to show the orbitals of an atom in its ground state. The valance electrons are those which are present in the outermost principle energy level.

- Is it possible for the same Iwo elements to form more than one compound? Is this consistent with Dalton’s atomic theory? Give an example.arrow_forwardlton believed that atoms were indivisible. Thomson and Rutherford helped to show that this was not true. What if atoms were indivisible? How would this affect the types of reactions you have learned about in this chapter?arrow_forwardWhat are bus? How are ions formed from atoms? Do isolated atoms form ions spontaneously? To what do the termscationandanionrefer? In terms of subatomic particles, how is an ion related to the atom from which it is formed? Does the nucleus of an atom change when the atom is converted into an ion? How can the periodic table be used to predict what ion an element’s atoms will form?arrow_forward
- Scientists J. J. Thomson and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) made numerous contributions to our understanding of the atom’s structure. Which subatomic particle did J. J. Thomson discover, and what did this lead him to postulate about the nature of the atom? William Thomson postulated what became known as the “plum pudding” model of the atom’s structure. What did this model suggest?arrow_forwardList some properties of a substance that would lead you to believe it consists of ions. How do these properties differ from those of nonionic compounds?arrow_forward1.Choose the element symbol pair which is correctly matched: A.Cobalt Co B.Carbon Ca C.Chlorine Ch D.Calcium C 2.In what arrangement where adjacent elements will have similar physical and chemical properties? A.Representative B.Arrangement by row C.Group D.Periodarrow_forward
- The element P has the atomic number 12. Element Q has the atomic number 16. What is the formula of the compound formed when these two elements react together? a. P2Q b. PQ c. PQ2 d. PQ3arrow_forwardIn which molecule would nitrogen’s lone pair be located closest to the nucleus of nitrogen? A. NH3 B. NF3 C. NCl3 D. NBr3arrow_forwarda. What is the charge on ions formed from the alkaline earth metals? b.What is the charge on ions formed by the alkaline earth metals? c.What is the charge on ions formed by the halogens? d.Identify three elements that can only form one cation? e.Identify three elements that can only form one anion f.Identify three elements that can form more than one cation g.In what region of the Periodic Table can an element form more than one cation? h.Are there any elements in this region that only form one cation?i.How do you determine the charge on the main group elements?arrow_forward
- Define the term main group element. Then, determine the charge that an atom of each of the following elements will normally have when it forms an ion. a. sodium b. bromine c. aluminum d. sulfur e. bariumarrow_forwardConsider three isolated ions: Mg2+, O²- and Nat. Which is true about these ions? a. All of the ions are the same size. b. All of the ions have the same numbers of protons. c. All of the ions have the same electrostatic attraction between protons and electrons. d. All of these ions have the same number of electrons present. e. a and darrow_forwardWrite the ion symbol for an atom with the given number of protons and electrons. a. 22 protons and 20 electrons b. 16 protons and 18 electrons c. 13 protons and 10 electrons d. 17 protons and 18 electrons e. 20 protons and 18 electronsarrow_forward
